    Russian tortoise not pooping?

    hahaha. I was worried that was the case. Normally he poops when he soaks I was just starting to get worried. I’ll shush for a few days then! Thank you for dealing with my tortoise anxiety.

    Thank you! Those helped me but I just wanted more input on if I should keep high humidity or not. I’ve read/heard multiple things with the babies so I’m super scared of doing the wrong thing for him.
